OLWEUSPronounced (Ol-VEY-us) the E sounds like a long A

The Olweus Anti-Bullying Program is in its’ 5th year of existence at Exeter Junior High. Every faculty/staff member in the building has been trained as an Olweus instructor. Each year the Olweus core committee decides on a presenter and a specific topic of interest for an assembly that ties in with our Olweus model. The core committee has established a curriculum for 7th and 8th grade students.

Twice per month all students return to homeroom at the end of the day for a 40-minute class on one of many topics including the following: Informing vs. Tattling, Empathy, Reporting, Rumors/ Gossip, Cyber bullying, Sexual Harassment, Current Events, and many more. Most homerooms have two faculty/staff members assigned to lead the classes.
